Kevin Stefanski is just starting a new coaching journey in the NFL with the Atlanta Falcons, but he\u2019s already gotten the approval of one of the team\u2019s top players.<\/p>\n
While talking to San Francisco 49ers fullback Kyle Juszczyk at the Pro Bowl, Falcons running back Bijan Robinson sounded excited about Stefanski\u2019s arrival in Atlanta.<\/p>\n
\u201cYeah, he\u2019s fire, bro,\u201d Robinson told Juszczyk about Stefanski. I like him a lot and his offensive scheme. Tommy Rees, he\u2019s the OC, but he\u2019ll call the plays.\u201d<\/p>\n

“He’s fire, bro”<\/p>\n
Coach Stefanski with the @Bijan5Robinson<\/a> seal of approval \ud83d\udd25 pic.twitter.com\/VdyfG1x27z<\/a><\/p>\n \u2014 Atlanta Falcons (@AtlantaFalcons) February 2, 2026<\/a> <\/p>\n Likewise, Stefanski should be thrilled about the prospect of working with an incredible talent like the 24-year-old Robinson.<\/p>\n Robinson was among the elite running backs in the 2025 season, finishing the campaign with 1,478 rushing yards to go with 7 touchdowns on 287 carries. That checks out for an average of 5.1 yards per rushing attempt. In addition, the former Texas Longhorns tailback racked up 820 receiving yards and 4 touchdowns on 79 receptions and 103 targets.<\/p>\n Stefanski did not have that kind of talent with the Cleveland Browns<\/a> since a healthy Nick Chubb.\u00a0<\/p>\n Now, the 43-year-old head coach gets the chance to further develop Robinson, who hasn\u2019t even reached his prime yet in the NFL.<\/p>\n
